You've hit the nail on the head......
I think its cold. I took the trouble of speaking to my neighbours at the weekend. ALL of them (wihtout exception) think their houses are cold - cold compared to previous houses. Energy bills are a lot higher.
I think there is a problem. But I want to know for certain. Once proved, I want to fix it, by remedying what is wrong. If necessary, removing the c**py build areas and replacing with something more appropriate (probably over std)
I'm not expecting warm walls/floor. But I don't expect to be in a room where the heating has been on for hrs, and feel cold! The floor and walls are very cold, and it not that they are not warm, they are VERY cold. As explained earlier, where I have removed the skirting, VERY cold air is blowing in throught the gap where the floor meets the walls. The floor should not be this cold, and the walls should not have very cold air blowing around in them. I think there is air leakage, and I also think the floor is poorly insulated.
I see you are in Cambs? Are you in building/Surveying?
